Description:

"This observation was made in an area that is known as 'Kraichgau' which in Germany often is dubbed as ""Germany's Toscana"" (as are other areas in the southwest). It is situated north of the Black Forest and to the east of the Upper-Rhine Lowlands (Rhine Rift) where I'm living. It has a typical loess landscape with lots of agriculture. The forests are mainly restricted to the north slopes of the hills. The fields are often terraced with steep slopes in between which often carry hedges. Also the fields and hedges are sometimes dotted with trees, often fruit trees like apple, pear or walnut. Other typical features are the hollow ways (gullies) and springs that are found every several (5...10) kilometers. (See the observation of Carrion Crows on November 11, 2015.) The Kraichgau is a quite nice hiking area. There are living a lot of Roe Deer, very few Hares, but since some years (let's say since 2005) Red Foxes are more and more common. Of course, there are Wild Boars but you don't see them."
